Do not purchase this itemThis stand is not designed for use. When lifting the stand to move it to the placement for our party, the bottom of the narrow stem snapped apart from the base, given the weight underneath the base. Upon review of the construction, the stem is connected by only a few small soldering beads, not adequate for use. We only used our tub stand 5-6 times before it broke and became completely useless. There is no way to repair it. I have called Frontgate Customer Service no less than 10 times and they refuse to offer a replacement or repair given the product is older than 1 year. They have not returned my phone calls, after telling me that a manager would call me back on multiple occasions. I am HIGHLY disappointed in this product. It is poorly designed and WAY OVERPRICED, and the customer service from Frontgate has been terrible. Buyer beware.

Optima Beverage Tub, Tub Floor Stand, and Ice ScooThe items I purchased were beautiful and make for an impressive display during parties. However, I am extremely disappointed I was charged shipping fees for each individual item, and received three different shipments instead of one package. In my opinion, I was overcharged as well.

Love this floor stand!The stand is well made and holds the large beverage tub beautifully. I have it near the Optima Table along with the accompanying Optima beverage set. I always receive so many compliments on everything, great buys all around!

Optima Beverage Tub Floor StandHave had the Optima Beverage Tub for years and love it. It does take up counter space when entertaining, though. I have always wanted the Floor Stand and finally purchased it and happy that I did. It is like having a furniture accessory. I am very happy with my decision to add this piece.

Looks great, fell apartThis stand came apart where it was tack welded together. It should be bolted together. Since it is made to hold a heavy ice bucket filled with drinks and ice, the base should be more sturdy.

Terrible QualityI have owned this stand for around 4 years. At the end of the 1st year, the middle section came undone and had to be welded. (it doesn't bolt together for some reason and its just tack welded) I assumed it was from not carrying the stand properly since the weight is at the base and you carry it from the top out of convenience. 3 years later, the middle section came undone again and the bottom weight inside of the stainless steel base has disintegrated. I literally had sand on my carpet from the weight. The weighted bottom is not shown but is under the stainless steel base. The weight is plastic filled with sand and the plastic just split open so the bolt holding it on doesn't work. I stored the stand inside my home the entire time of ownership. It looks awesome and is so convenient when using the tub, but its extremely disappointing it didn't last longer.

Stand snapped where welded togetherI have had my stand for a few years. It is gorgeous - so many compliments on it - especially since I have the tub, ice bucket and scoop that goes w it. The stand comes w a weight that you attach to the bottom w nuts/bolt. This weight makes the stand very sturdy -- but there is the main problem.
What happens is you keep the weight on the stand when you move it. Who wants to unscrew it every time you move it. Think about it - at times when you are setting up for a party you might move this item 5 or more times just to get it in the right spot.
When you move it - you grab the top where the tub goes....and eventually - due to bad welding and the weight on the bottom the stand snaps.
Frontgate was great when I reached out to them about the stand snapping, even though the warranty had expired on this item, and offered a gift certificate in the amount that equates to 25% of what I paid for this product.
I was just getting ready to order another stand - and decided to look at other reviews - and I see other folks have had the issue w the stand snapping. To me Frontgate should seriously think about not selling these anymore - or talk to manufacturer about having a better quality product....that is strongly welded together....

Optima Beverage Tub Floor StandI love this item but unfortunately the weld area snapped apart after only 2 years. I had to pay someone to weld it back together. Not put together properly and not worth the price.

I see sooo many reviews that this product is NOT well made. I just got the large beverage container and would like a stand. Are you planning to mark the stand waaay down or create a better one? I will NOT purchase it as it is!

Which tub is pictured on the stand in the catalog the 17 or 21

Asked by: OSHAMAMA

Thank you for your interest in Frontgate. In reference to the Optima Beverage Tub, the optional stand beautifully displays either the 21&quot; or 17&quot; beverage tub. The 17&rsquo; tub sits inside the lip of the tray. The 21 inch tub sits on the outside or within the lip of the tray. Both have been featured within our catalogs.
